Abstract

See full text

A machining unit, in particular in a numerically controlled lathe, has a rotary head equipped with four pivoting tools for machining parts which pass axially through this head without rotating. Each tool is mounted on a respective pivoting support (6a-6d) provided with a helicoidal guiding surface (26a-26d) the axis of which coincides with the pivoting axis (7a-7d) of the support. The four tools are controlled by means of two concentric annular sockets (30, 42) controlled in translation. The inner socket (30) has two outer surfaces which rest against the guiding surfaces (26a, 26b) of two of the supports. The guiding surfaces are helixes of opposite pitch, and therefore one of the corresponding tools moves toward the part as the second tool moves away from it. The outer socket (42) controls the other two tools in the same manner.
